PADKOS NO 37

With all the recent activity around the Padkos Bioscope and Padkos Inter_mission platforms, this feels a bit like a return to normal service for the Padkos list as we shareRaúl Zibechi’s (2012) essay: “The Urban Peripheries: Counter-Powers from Below?”.

In the short teaser (Raúl Zibechi Popular Struggles in Latin American Shack Settlements) we outline how “Zibechi’s analysis … reveals some striking similarities in the thinking and practices that have emerged in struggle in Latin American and in South Africa”.  We conclude that “this essay by Zibechi is a very important intervention and we are sure that you will find it as rewarding as we have”.
